UConn basketball secures Braylon Mullins commitment on October 24

Braylon Mullins, a 6-foot-5 shooting guard from Greenfield Central High School in Indiana, recently committed to UConn basketball for the 2025 class, marking his commitment as the third top-25 addition for the program. His recruitment journey saw a significant boost during the spring and summer seasons as he played for Indiana Elite on the Adidas 3SSB circuit. Here he showcased his abilities, averaging 19.4 points per game while shooting an impressive 47.3% from beyond the arc, solidifying his status as one of the premier scorers in his class. Mullins faced challenges during his high school season due to a stress fracture but rebounded strongly in league play. His relationship with UConn head coach Dan Hurley played a pivotal role in Mullins' decision to join the Huskies. The communication through text and FaceTime helped to cultivate a strong bond, underlined by Hurley’s straightforward coaching style that Mullins appreciates, believing it brings out his best performance. Hurley's achievement in leading teams to national championships further motivated Mullins in his commitment decision. Mullins is recognized not only for his scoring prowess but also for his ability to read the defense and make effective plays, showcasing an elite basketball IQ. His commitment adds to UConn’s growing reputation as a destination for top talent, with only Duke having more top-25 recruits in this recruiting cycle. This commitment highlights UConn’s continued push to enhance its basketball program ahead of the upcoming seasons, particularly as they look to return to national prominence.
